Biography

An alumnus of Massachusetts State College, actor/singer Biff McGuire made his Broadway bow in the 1948 review Make Mine Manhattan. McGuire went on to a featured role in the 1949 Pulitzer Prize-winning musical South Pacific, and later starred in the long-running sex comedy The Moon is Blue. During the 1960s and 1970s, he starred in touring productions of Finian's Rainbow and Camelot, returning to Broadway sporadically. In films since 1955's Pheonix City Story, McGuire has played authoritative roles in such productions as The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) and Serpico (1973). A frequent visitor to television (he appeared in two different episodes during the first season of Alfred Hitchcock Presents), Biff McGuire starred as Dr. Malloy in the John O'Hara-inspired weekly series Gibbsville (1976), and was featured as Sgt. McKay on the CBS daytime drama Search for Tomorrow. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
